THE METAMORPHOSIS, by JOHN SUCKLING Poet's Biography
First Line: The little boy, to show his might and power
Last Line: H'as metamorphosed me into an ass!
First Line: The little boy, to show his might and power
Last Line: H'as metamorphosed me into an ass!
The little Boy, to show his might and power,
Turned Io to a cow, Narcissus to a flower;
Transformed Apollo to a homely swain,
And Jove himself into a golden rain.
These shapes were tolerable, but by th' mass
H'as metamorphosed me into an ass!
